Mozilla Awards Nearly $300,000 to Research Grant Winners

Jofish Kaye and Sean White May 10, 2017

We’re happy to announce the results of the Mozilla Research Grant program for the first half of 2017. This was a competitive process, and after three rounds of judging, we settled on funding nine proposals in five countries for a total of $299,444. These projects support Mozilla’s mission to make the internet safer, more empowering and more accessible.

The Mozilla Research Grants program is part of Mozilla’s Emerging Technologies charter to explore the future of the open internet, and reflects Mozilla’s commitment to open innovation, as well as accelerating our own research. As such, these grants include research supporting our core projects like Firefox and Rust, as well as exploring new domains for the future of the Internet.
